Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria is coming under a lot of fire for the blockbuster trade that will send multiple veteran stars from the Marlins to the Toronto Blue Jays, but he told CBSSports.com that he has no plans to sell the franchise.

This latest fire sale actually began in July when the Marlins traded third baseman Hanley Ramirez, starter Anibal Sanchez, second baseman Omar Infante and reliever Edward Mujica, among others. Last month, reliever Heath Bell was dealt just before manager Ozzie Guillen was fired.

This comes on the heels of the Marlins’ spending spree last offseason, when they signed Reyes, Buehrle and Bell to deals worth a combined $191 million. And on the heels of the first season new Marlins Park, which was funded by taxpayers.

"We have to get better," Loria told CBSSports.com. "We can't finish in last place. We finished in last place. That's unacceptable. We have to take a new course."
